I can't manage to get my smeltery to assemble. If you guys can help I'll post screenshots, but if you'd point me to help that would be great too!

Tinker's Construct wiki has a guide on building the smeltery, but screenshots would definitely help. http://tinkers-construct.wikia.com/wiki/Smeltery

Have you tried moving the controller and tank down one level so their on the 1st tier of the smeltery? I don't know if this will solve it but it's worth a try!
Controller and tank need to be on the same level, but they can be on any level, as long as it is the same level, and as long as that level is otherwise completed.
Think of building a Smeltery as building around a square area of empty air. The Controller and Tank is always on the 1st layer, the Drains can be on any layer. Anything listed as "Seared" can be used as the walls/floor of the Smeltery, and the only rule is that the walls must surround a precise square area up to 7x7 max.

I've built a bunch of Smelteries, one of my favorite early-game ore doubling mechanisms. As far as I know, the controller can be at any level, but the overall structure won't activate until there is a contiguous wall that includes the controller, around the base floor. I've put controllers on the first row of blocks (above the floor layer, that is), and all the way up to layer 3 or 4.
To save on smeltery blocks I usually use columns of marble or granite for the corners, or make the corner columns out of seared tanks. As long as a tank is anywhere in the structure, the controller seems to "see" it. You can actually make non-square smelteries, but the extra spaces outside of the square aren't useable, they show as red X's in the controller gui. On the plus side, you can add height to your Smelter at _any_ time for more ore handling capacity. I've built them up into the ceiling of my base, even had a mob trap drop right into one for congealed blood ingots.
